A freebie and the 'Tales of the Road' campaign

As a farewell to this blog I've a freebie giveaway, courtesy of the kind people at Halfords and in support of Digital Outlook.

Summer is here and my children are out and about more, so I'm offering this blog post in support of the DfT’s ‘Tales of The Road’ campaign.

You might have already seen in cinemas or in the ‘Jazzy Books’ handouts at school, the story of ‘the boy who didn’t find a safe place to cross’. It stresses the importance of children crossing the road at a point where cars can see them. You can see the ad here

The ‘Tales of the Road’ website has been updated with a new game. And they've added a new section which focuses on ‘Cycle Safety’.

Road safety is such an important issue for parents and children and I'm keen to help to spread the word.

Not sure my big head would fit into the power rangers gear, tempted though I am. As someone who was flattened by a car a s a child (yes I am the boy who didn't find a safe place to cross!) I reckon it's a great cause though!

Pick me please oh please! We have three boys and the oldest (7) is still using stabilizers (training wheels for us yanks). This would be the push we need for us all to get serious about him learning how to really, truly, ride a bike! Thanks heaps! Jessica

If you can pop me in a mug you really are magical but my name well that might just fit:0) No, I've not got children hidden in my workroom I've never mentioned but some of the care workers at THE mans home have many children and not much money so a lucky dip there if my name comes out would raise a smile I suspect.
